Help on Revenge From Mars. Game basically just stopped booting. Screen and play field won't come on. Light in the back box and fan are running.

Mine does this sometimes. If you let it sit for a few hours then turn it on does it work?

Any fuses blown?

Do you have a power sensing pen/want that you can use to follow the flow of power to where it stops?

With game off and unplugged, try reseating the ram. Pretty good odds that will get it to boot again.

The fan you are referring to is the power supply? If so, might also try making sure the power supply connectors at the top left haven't backed off the headers.

I'm not sure on this I don't think so all the fuses are good.

Me and my buddy did this thought it would work unfortunately did not.

Fou two bad resistors on the driver board so going to change those and see if that fixes it.

Be careful. It’s a layered board so really easy to damage traces.

Just an opinion, I think its better to just convert to Pinbox.

Great game btw. Previously owned one and currently own a AFM. AFM is the superior game but RFM doesn’t get enough love
